Parfums de Marly Hamdani is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Hamdani opens with Myrrh and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Clove, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Leather, Sandalwood, and Tobacco. Parfums de Marly's Hamdani carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart or the crowd-pleasing masses. Hamdani is a provocative, divisive beast of a fragrance - you'll either adore its animalic complexity or recoil from its raw, unapologetic nature. Definitely try before you buy.

About

Hamdani opens with a potent, almost medicinal burst of frankincense and myrrh, quickly giving way to a rich, dark leather. A deep, smoky woodiness from guaiac wood and papyrus emerges, subtly sweetened by honey and spiced with clove, whilst a raw, animalic musk underpins the entire composition. It's a journey into ancient forests and well-worn materials, with a deep, balsamic amber holding it all together into the dry down.
